# How to diff or compare two arbitrary commits without generating a design review

Comparing two different commits and reviewing the diff is relatively easy.

Visit:

```
https://hub.allspice.io/<org name>/<repo name>/compare/<ref1>..<ref2>
```

References can be branches, tags, SHAs, or even shortened tags. `&lt;ref1&gt;` should be the older reference and `&lt;ref2&gt;` should be the newer reference.
